What documents must be on file with the IEP and IHCP?
No documentation is to be kept with the IEP; doing so could violate confidentiality requirements. Although SED and DSS originally called for the IHCP to be attached to the IEP, the requirement was changed. Documents on file with the IHCP: a. Health history/Health notes (there is no requirement for the number of notes). b. Medication log. c. Doctor’s orders: orders are required when the student enters school for the first time each school year and when there are any significant changes in the student’s condition or procedure. d. Written protocols for each procedure, required for the student.
